commit 44a3918c8245ab10c6c9719dd12e7a8d291980d8 upstream.

With unprivileged eBPF enabled, eIBRS (without retpoline) is vulnerable
to Spectre v2 BHB-based attacks.

When both are enabled, print a warning message and report it in the
'spectre_v2' sysfs vulnerabilities file.

<title>tracing: Fix tp_printk option related with tp_printk_stop_on_boot</title>

[ Upstream commit 3203ce39ac0b2a57a84382ec184c7d4a0bede175 ]

The kernel parameter "tp_printk_stop_on_boot" starts with "tp_printk" which is
the same as another kernel parameter "tp_printk". If "tp_printk" setup is
called before the "tp_printk_stop_on_boot", it will override the latter
and keep it from being set.

This is similar to other kernel parameter issues, such as:
  Commit 745a600cf1a6 ("um: console: Ignore console= option")
or init/do_mounts.c:45 (setup function of "ro" kernel param)

Fix it by checking for a "_" right after the "tp_printk" and if that
exists do not process the parameter.

<title>taskstats: Cleanup the use of task-&gt;exit_code</title>

commit 1b5a42d9c85f0e731f01c8d1129001fd8531a8a0 upstream.

In the function bacct_add_task the code reading task-&gt;exit_code was
introduced in commit f3cef7a99469 ("[PATCH] csa: basic accounting over
taskstats"), and it is not entirely clear what the taskstats interface
is trying to return as only returning the exit_code of the first task
in a process doesn't make a lot of sense.

As best as I can figure the intent is to return task-&gt;exit_code after
a task exits.  The field is returned with per task fields, so the
exit_code of the entire process is not wanted.  Only the value of the
first task is returned so this is not a useful way to get the per task
ptrace stop code.  The ordinary case of returning this value is
returning after a task exits, which also precludes use for getting
a ptrace value.

It is common to for the first task of a process to also be the last
task of a process so this field may have done something reasonable by
accident in testing.

Make ac_exitcode a reliable per task value by always returning it for
every exited task.

Setting ac_exitcode in a sensible mannter makes it possible to continue
to provide this value going forward.

<title>bpf: Add kconfig knob for disabling unpriv bpf by default</title>

commit 08389d888287c3823f80b0216766b71e17f0aba5 upstream.

Add a kconfig knob which allows for unprivileged bpf to be disabled by default.
If set, the knob sets /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to value of 2.

This still allows a transition of 2 -&gt; {0,1} through an admin. Similarly,
this also still keeps 1 -&gt; {1} behavior intact, so that once set to permanently
disabled, it cannot be undone aside from a reboot.

We've also added extra2 with max of 2 for the procfs handler, so that an admin
still has a chance to toggle between 0 &lt;-&gt; 2.

Either way, as an additional alternative, applications can make use of CAP_BPF
that we added a while ago.

The cgroup release_agent is called with call_usermodehelper.  The function
call_usermodehelper starts the release_agent with a full set fo capabilities.
Therefore require capabilities when setting the release_agaent.

commit c9d967b2ce40d71e968eb839f36c936b8a9cf1ea upstream.

The buffer handling in pm_show_wakelocks() is tricky, and hopefully
correct.  Ensure it really is correct by using sysfs_emit_at() which
handles all of the tricky string handling logic in a PAGE_SIZE buffer
for us automatically as this is a sysfs file being read from.

commit 823e670f7ed616d0ce993075c8afe0217885f79d upstream.

With the new osnoise tracer, we are seeing the below splat:

osnoise tracer on ppc64le is triggering osnoise_taint() for negative
duration in get_int_safe_duration() called from
trace_sched_switch_callback()-&gt;thread_exit().

The problem though is that the check for a valid trace_percpu_buffer is
incorrect in get_trace_buf(). The check is being done after calculating
the pointer for the current cpu, rather than on the main percpu pointer.
Fix the check to be against trace_percpu_buffer.

<title>timekeeping: Really make sure wall_to_monotonic isn't positive</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 4e8c11b6b3f0b6a283e898344f154641eda94266 upstream.

Even after commit e1d7ba873555 ("time: Always make sure wall_to_monotonic
isn't positive") it is still possible to make wall_to_monotonic positive
by running the following code:

    int main(void)
    {
        struct timespec time;

        clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &amp;time);
        time.tv_nsec = 0;
        clock_settime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &amp;time);
        return 0;
    }

The reason is that the second parameter of timespec64_compare(), ts_delta,
may be unnormalized because the delta is calculated with an open coded
substraction which causes the comparison of tv_sec to yield the wrong
result:

  wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec =  900000000 }
  ts_delta 	    = { .tv_sec =  -9, .tv_nsec = -900000000 }

That makes timespec64_compare() claim that wall_to_monotonic &lt; ts_delta,
but actually the result should be wall_to_monotonic &gt; ts_delta.

After normalization, the result of timespec64_compare() is correct because
the tv_sec comparison is not longer misleading:

  wall_to_monotonic = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec =  900000000 }
  ts_delta 	    = { .tv_sec = -10, .tv_nsec =  100000000 }

Use timespec64_sub() to ensure that ts_delta is normalized, which fixes the
issue.
